Di Malaysia, pendidikan perubahan iklim terutamanya diintegrasikan ke dalam subjek sains, tetapi sering kali kekurangan kedalaman dan aplikasi praktikal, menyebabkan ramai pelajar tiada pemahaman yang kukuh tentang amalan kelestarian.

Sebaliknya, negara seperti Sweden mewajibkan pendidikan kelestarian di seluruh subjek, memastikan pelajar memahami tanggungjawab terhadap alam sekitar sejak awal. Singapura juga telah menekankan kelestarian dalam rangka kerja pendidikan mereka, manakala UK mewajibkan pendidikan perubahan iklim dalam kurikulum nasionalnya.

Contoh-contoh ini menekankan potensi manfaat rangka kerja pendidikan perubahan iklim yang wajib di Malaysia, terutama ketika negara ini menghadapi bencana iklim yang semakin meningkat dan kekurangan pengetahuan serta tindakan di kalangan generasi muda untuk menangani perubahan iklim.

English Version

In Malaysia, climate change education is primarily integrated into environmental science courses, but often lacks depth and practical application, leaving many students without a solid understanding of sustainability practices.

In contrast, countries like Sweden mandate sustainability education across all subjects, ensuring students are well-versed in environmental stewardship. Singapore has also emphasized sustainability in its educational framework, while the UK requires climate change education in its national curriculum.

These examples underscore the potential benefits of a mandatory climate change education framework in Malaysia, especially as the country faces increasing climate disasters and a significant lack of knowledge and action among younger generations to combat climate change.
